Sydney Opera House, Mirazozo

'Mirazozo' is a large-scale inflatable sculpture temporarily located on the Sydney Opera Houseforecourt for the Festival of Sydney. Created by Architects of Air and described as a luminarium, it is constructed of translucent vinyl and features a maze of winding tunnels and cavernous domes. The atmosphere inside alters according to the changing weather and light outside, with vivid reflections of colour across the curved walls transforming faces and clothing of visitors.

I think the concept is very cool and your shots are great, Jim... but I am baffled by the words: "inflatable sculpture" (defined as the art or practice of shaping figures or designs in the round or in relief, as by chiseling marble, modeling clay, or casting in metal)... and I agree with Julie about it having a Japanese anime look.
